Abstract:

Using the datasets of major air pollutants and meteorological observations during the winter from 2016 to 2018 in Jinan, the characteristics of air pollution were analyzed to identify the major transport pathway of airmass. The results showed that during the winter from 2016 to 2018 in Jinan, about 63.8% and 34.7% of the major pollutants were PM2.5 and PM10, respectively. Of the total number of days, 58.6% had a pollution level worse than good polluted. The annual average concentration of PM2.5 increased by 7.5 μg/m3 due to its high concentration in the winter. In terms of spatial distribution, the concentrations of PM10 and PM2.5 were high inTianqiao District, Huaiyin District, and Pingyin County; the concentration of SO2 was high in Shanghe County and Jiyang District; and the concentrations of NO2 and CO were high in Jiyang District, Tianqiao District and Huaiyin District. The results also showed that ρ(NO2), ρ(CO), ρ(PM10), and ρ(PM2.5) had a positive correlation, with all r >0.7. It was inferred that traffic source, industrial combustion source, and burning coal were the major sources of particulate matter. The airmass in the winter of Jinan came from south, northwest, north, and east, and the airmass from south and east were the major transport pathway of air pollution. Further analyses of the potential source contribution and concentration weight showed that the air pollution in Jinan City was affected by the local and surrounding cities, and the current air pollution presents the characteristics of cross-contamination across regions. Therefore, a supervision and coordination mechanism for the joint prevention and control of air pollution in the region should be established to coordinate research and solve growing problems of air pollution.

Key words: air pollution, pollution characteristics, potential source contribution function, concentration weight trajectory, Jinan City
